Your PCs husband died, sorry my bad.... LOL
slow is a subjective term , to me all PCs are slow.
(unless I lay my grimy mitts on them)
How much RAM do you have 1gig?
is your HDD full?
did you upgrade to SSD but wise if fast is your aim,
is the PC infected. ?
is your AV engine running, at least windows defender + free malwarebytes.
what music where, mp3 files in a folder? or what are they?
the extension of the file name matters. mp3 is common,
wav is too but are huge and slow, but best sound of all.
how many are there, 10 or 10,000.?
what player are you using,.?
I'd never touch MS media player ever. not me,?
run fast free players that don't track you.
if most windows screens are fast, and only MP3s are slow
say that first. if all things are slow say that. I can not guess or see you do things. (my PC has over 100apps and runs fast)

try BOOM player free.

https://perkele.cc/software/boom

lean and mean, and supports
: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (MPC), WavPack, WAV, AIFF, MP4/M4A, WMA.

or get VLC from, French, it runs too fast and not spyware.
I love VLC, as to 100s millions of others.
if all of windows acts slow run CCcleaner, free. find the free on.
defrag your hdd if it is a hdd,
if the hdd is near full , clean it out of old things not need
or clone it to a larger HDD. better to SSD.
safe and (makers page)

SOURCE: a folder take too much time to open

Hi Nik,

There are a lot of variable that can affect file and folder access speeds, number one is the size of each, followed by how full the drive is and degree of fragmentation.

The first and easiest steps to take would be:

  1. Clean up the hard drive. In MyComputer or Explorer, right click on your hard drive, select Properties and perform a disk clean up. The second Tab I think.
  2. Next, located in the same area, Defragment the drive
These two alone should notably increase your access speeds.

Hope this is very helpful

SOURCE: I have a Pavilion HP dv4 laptop with Windows

Hi Friend,

You should install the antivirus in your HP Pavilion because there is some virus in your Laptop ...you should scan your laptop by anti virus. You should update the drives from the internet in weekly..

SOURCE: I bought a 1tb WD

My first suggestion is to try to attach it to another computer and try to access the disk... if it still has this issue it would indicate that something has become corrupted on the disk. You could run a data recovery utility if it has the same problem on your friends computer... There is special software out there that will scan the disk and try to recover any bits of information it can see, usually far more than you can get to just by using windows. I would definitely suggest you try this, it can't hurt and may get many of the files you want back. Here is a site with a list of the best FREE data recovery utilities:

http://free-backup.info/data-recovery-software.htm

Download one or two and try them out and see if it can grab the files you want, then format the drive and start again. Definitely make sure you back up your data in multiple places in case this happens again! No hard drive is guaranteed to last or not have problems...
SO sorry about that, Tim

Can't load photo on to FB, extremely slow, have to login each time even when I mark "leave me logged in, flickers...

Hmmm, Well the virus protection slows the computer down more than any other program, as it is attached to everything in the system. Try these steps: Go to the start menu then to run and click on run. type in msconfig this will bring up the startup menu. Click on startup, then, Uncheck tools in start up menu( these items appear in the toolbar at the far lower right of the screen on the taskbar) that you don't absolutely need on startup. Select selective start up after deselect startup items. Click apply, a window will pop up that says windows startup has been changed. Select do not show this box again and then OK. Delete browsing history and cookies. Go to C:\ windows/ temp files/ and select all, then hit the delete key. Movies and pics and music take up a lot of disk space and can slow down you unit, so load your music and pics. on a disk or usb drive which is better for safekeeping anyway. Manage your add ons in the settings menu on you homepage, they will still be available but not active. Disable add ons, they slow down your unit. I would also run a complete scan of you computer, there is always a chance that you have a virus. Mke sure you update regularly, and I suggest the manual install so you don't get the extras that they add in. Also check and see if you have unwanted browsers or programs that you do not use and are not a vital component and delete or remove through add remove programs in the control panel. Good luck I hope this solves your problem. Please post a solved comment on fixya Let me know how you make out and please feel free to get back if you need more advice.

My hp 530 is very slow and it freezes

The HP freezinng issue can be caused by many many reasons such as outdated hardware, overload startup programs, corrupt registry issues, too many junks, virus attack, poor security software taking too much system resources, remnants of uninstalled applications etc. The fact is, you should keep some system maintenance job regularly. If you don't want to do these manually, try http://www.speeduphp.com/hp-laptop-freezes.html to give a free & full scan of your slow HP PC to find & fix all possible issues.

Meanwhile, upgrading hardware configuration (add RAM, change a new video card, larger-volume HDD etc) can be a fast yet effective way to improve your pc performance. But that won't be the most economical way, as you know you can't always afford to do that.

I have aproblem with my sony walkman

A big problem with the Sony-NWZ-S616F is that they give you squat for conversion software. What you need is Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate - Under the pre-set conversion options select "iPod (320x240)MPEG-4 Mini" than RENAME it make a new preset with say "Sony-NWZ-S616F" as the description. Don't change any settings either as it works just fine the way it was setup originally for the Ipod and I found that increasing the settings only makes it worse (in audio you lose a channel if you change anything and in video there is no real quality change it just takes longer to convert and wastes space on the player) - I have Ratatouille, Smokey and the Bandit, Surfs Up, Space Chimps and a few other full-length movies in mine. SAVE and CONVERT all your movies in your PC's hard drive and ONLY put in your player what you want to watch at the time and ONLY transfer 1 converted file at a time using a true USB 2.0 cable. IF It's too slow when transferring you will get an error that it was unable to copy the file. If you try to send over more than one file you might also get the same thing. It will take you about 45 minutes to convert an .AVI to a .MP4 but at least it will work on your player now..

MUSIC: As to getting .MP3 files in it just use Windows Explorer or My Computer and manually copy them into the MUSIC folder on the player.. I found that Windows Media Player does not like to transfer files with this player like they say it should.. tried MP-10, 11 it didn't matter..

I have a canon SD 580. When I playback the video clip it's always in fast forward mode and I can't play it normal speed. Any help?

Make sure you are shooting your movies in "Standard" mode. If you have the mode set to something else, especially "Time Lapse", the playback may not match 'natural' motion.

In any case, you can control the speed of the playback. When you first enter the movie playback mode, there should be a movie control bar along the bottom of the LCD. Instead of the "Play" button, select the "Slow Motion Playback" button (single arrow with single bar next to the normal Play button), and control the speed with the left or right arrows on the multi-controller.

A345 stuck in movie mode

you need to open the camera caseing a small amount. As you put the case back make sure the switch is in the movie position so it will engage the switch inside on the circuit board. Looks like the switch has been knocked off the control inside.If you have been moveing the switch back and forward you may have broken it.
